Time to settle down with a good book, and this one’s a classic for sure 🤖

No. 4 - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick

Already on to the third book, picked it up earlier today. I think I'm gonna enjoy this marathon collection, I'm already 1% through it 😆

No. 3 - Cities in Flight, James Blish

In town to buy myself a new book and grab lunch while I’m here 📖

No. 2 - I Am Legend, Richard Matheson

Finally decided to expand my book collection and make proper use of the library shelving in my spare room. What better that a collection of nearly 200 books covering over a century of the most noteworthy science fiction novels.

No. 1 - The Forever War, Joe Haldeman

The SF Masterworks series came up in a chat today and I’ve been fondly remembering many of these covers… significantly less keen on the weird color tinted later printings. https://bearalley.blogspot.com/2019/06/sf-masterworks-cover-gallery-part-1-1-25.html?m=1 #SFMasterworks #scienceFiction #Publishing #bookCovers

A tale that hasn't aged well (either in scientific or social terms) but one that still has some good ideas and much to say of when it was written. #SciFi #SFbooks #SFMasterworks
